I agree with Ian although there must be security nuts other things that need a special tool to loosen them.

Let's knock this one on the head by saying that that is what I think it is as well, the tool for unscrewing security nuts on car wheels. Trouble is I have never seen one of them.
Next for shaving?

They come with the new car now Stanley so there might be as many different types as there are car makers.

I know where you are coming from Cathy but no, it isn't a cord-stop castrator. Associated more with pleasure than pain.

We wouldn't be as lavish with our use of sugar if we had to use these every time we fancied some!

They are sugar tongs, used for breaking or shaving sugar when it was supplied in large blocks.

There was a song in the late sixties, Snoopy vs the Red Baron, so I'm with Cathy on this one.

And in the late 60s when I had to study German I had this German book, Snoopy der Bruchpilot book. I think Snoopy had a girlfriend who was kidnapped by the Red Baron...

The Bloody Red Baron - Baron von Richtofen.
An ace pilot of WW1. 80 victories.
That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix,
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks.
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight.
Who was Snoopy?

Cathy, that prompted me to look further...
After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird
Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-looking dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down - "Curses, foiled again!"
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He challenged the German to a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight
That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
Well, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany

Who was Snoopy meant to be, or was it just a song?

There is still mystery over who fired the shot that brought down the "Red Baron" Manfred von Richthofen. WWI Canadian pilot Arthur "Roy" Brown is actually credited with the kill but there is evidence that it was rifle shot from the ground that was actually the cause.
Snoopy vs The Red Baron is just fantasy loosely based on history ,the 80 kills or more accredited to Manfred are correct. Either way he was able to land his aircraft before he died.
Manfred von Richthofen

Dead right Cathy, it was my friend Snoopy as portrayed in his encounter with the Red Baron.....
Here he is again in the same role.

Any idea what this is? Sorry about the poor quality image. It's roughly spherical and sitting on a circular base to stop it rolling.
